Abstract

Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) has emerged as a notable technology among industrial manufacturers to develop automation systems. It caters the unique identification number with conforming international global standards for each tagged object which is traced. The aim of the present study is to contribute a framework based on RFID application for the process control of manufacturing system in order to enhance productivity, efficiency, utilization, as well as decreasing idle time of system. The model is comprised of production system which can be quite well integrated with RFID system. The main role of this technology is to process data captured by RFID gates. Applying this technology makes possibility to manage workflows of transportation lines in terms of various products types. Finally, the implementation of system is analyzed by employing MATLAB´s Petri Net toolbox.
